Tirana (Standard Albanian: Tiranë; regional Gheg Albanian: Tirona) is the capital and the largest city of Albania.
The first nucleus of the city center was born in Roman-Byzantine Empire (Theranda), the period of its first expansion, but in the course of its history it was occupied by the Turkish-Ottoman Empire, and finally agglomeration in the Kingdom of Italy. Modern Tirana was founded as an Ottoman town in 1614 by Sulejman Bargjini, a local ruler from Mullet. Tirana became Albania’s capital city in 1920 and has a population of 600,000, with metro area population of 763,634.

Red Light District

Prostitutes and Sex Workers

The problem in Albania is that prostitution is not legal and very much condemned by public opinion. Since it is a tiny country words gets around that why its a bit hard to find the women. There are not many street walkers in the city.

The easiest place to find girls is through taxi drivers who work at night. Don't be shy about asking but don't expect much on the quality side. The hookers will run from 50-100€ for basic sex. Depending on how good looking you are you may get OWO and CIM, but there usually extra.

The next best place would be hotels and motels, just go and ask the desk clerk as in most eastern and southern european countries.

The hotels start at about 10€ per hour, so it is quite cheap to fuck in there.

Street Hookers

Street prostitutes can be seen in Tirana, offering sexual favours near the city center, on the main roads and in the area of the National Park “Liqeni”. The price of services varies from 500 to 1,500 Leke (€3 – €12). According to the information from Albanian Lesbian and Gay Association, there are also male prostitutes from Roma population or Gypsy community who practice street sex work.

Skënderbej Square is one the busiest areas. There you will notice streetwalkers near the Tirana International Hotel and behind the Palace of Culture.

Gay and Lesbian

“Gay life in Albania” is hardly an accurate descriptive word for this country since there is no public Pride presence and few courageous activists who work mostly behind the scenes to lobby sympathetic government members and quietly offer support to young gays. But change will come as the country’s two LGBT rights and equality groups slowly push open the envelop of tolerance.

There are several clubs and bars that are extensively frequented by LGBT community living in the capital.

Stay Safe

Tirana is safe and the Albanians are very friendly people.

There may be a few beggars around but just ignore them if you're not interested in donating and they'll just go their way. There may be stray dogs around in suburban areas but they are harmless even in the darkest of nights: at most, they'll bark a little bit. The important things with dogs is to relax and just walk at a relaxed pace. It's a fact that holding a very negative perspective i.e. like being very afraid, will tend to produce that experience. Works with animals, humans and just about everything else.

You should watch your step while walking in some parts of the city although most parts of the city are fine, there may remain holes and worn-down street in some areas. Cars also seem to drive way more freely than in most European cities, so care is needed in crossing the street, but be assured that in such cities where traffic rules seem nonexistent, all people concerned are aware of what they're doing so they're more watchful than when rules exist. Traffic lights are usually adhered to in Tirana, but always keep an eye out and watch how the locals cross the road.
